RE Suggestions

Please post any RE suggestions you have here! Once approved and moved to the stash, a mod will alert you. Please make sure to look over the list to avoid any repeats. You will be awarded ribbons based on number of accepted suggestions.

When suggesting pack or global events, please remember they cannot alter the landscape of Relic Lore. A small flood is acceptable, but a huge landslide on Mount Dire is not. We like to save those for BWPs.
